The event will feature 300 global experts and more than 40 organizations specialized in the metaverse and virtual worlds applications. We are excited to announce that Metalaunchers will be holding a session, as well as more than 30 local and international leaders expected to speak at the two-day event.

Charting the future of the metaverse

The Assembly will introduce tangible outcomes, including reports, strategies and action plans that outline the way forward for maximizing the impact on human life in both the real and virtual worlds. Delegates will participate in sessions and workshops to take a deep dive into the metaverse, understand its impact on humanity, discuss the potential of humanizing its applications, and identify the best ways to leverage opportunities across strategic sectors of countries, governments, and companies.

Dubai has a huge real estate market. In the future, people will be able to fly to a community, view the villas and also configure the interior decoration to their liking. Once they’re satisfied, they can pay digitally. It is possible today as some developed countries have taken the lead in this field. In addition the UAE residents will be able to pay bills through the metaverse as well.

Dubai residents will soon live, work, play and socialize in Metaverse in addition to visiting government departments and completing transactions too, says Sharad Agarwal, chief metaverse officer of Cybergear.
